With James Gunn and Peter Safran taking on the roles of co-CEOs of DC Studios in 2022, a reboot for the DC Universe became apparent, marking the conclusion of the DCEU era. James Gunn, in particular, has ambitious plans for the DCU, signaling a new direction and vision for the cinematic universe.
James Gunn is a lover of all things DC and that is why there is an underrated DC character that he should definitely adapt to live-action and his name is ‘The Disappointment.’
The DCU is set to kick into high gear in 2025, with Superman: Legacy serving as the true starting point for the new era. Fans are eagerly anticipating and, at the same time, approaching the DCU with a mix of excitement and hesitation, curious about what this new phase might bring.
James Gunn Should Definitely Adapt the DC Character ‘The Disappointment’ to Live-Action
There are quite a few DC characters that fans feel should be brought to life by James Gun and one of them is ‘The Disappointment.” According to a video, ”The Disappointment” was originally a character in the DC Universe named Haxon the Star Archer whose comic series and toy production eventually got cancelled with his comic being banned from ever being reprinted.
The character ended up outside of reality with no discernible physical features due to copyright infringement he later became an enemy of Doom Patrol after he discovered the extradimensional organization known as Retcon, which hijacks and rewrites universes to make them more entertaining he eventually took over the multiversal company to end the world out of resentment.
”The Disappointment ‘is a very unique character and him being introduced as part of the DCU would be a breath of fresh air. We will have to wait and see whether James Gunn will end up adapting the character in the end.
Superman: Legacy‘s Story Will Be Identical To A 1939 Movie
James Gunn is in direct control of Superman: Legacy and is overseeing what will happen in the movie. A fan recently asked James Gunn on social media if he has watched Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and if Superman: Legacy will be similar to the movie.
James Gunn revealed that the storyline for Superman: Legacy will be ”Exactly the same” as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. In case you had no idea, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is about a naive, newly appointed United States Senator who fights against government corruption, so that theme would certainly work for James Gunn’s film.
We will have to wait and see how the DCU will turn out once it finally debuts in 2025. Following the utter disaster that was the DCEU, there is a lot of dread and apprehension for the DCU being a success. With that said, James Gunn is a trustworthy name and he has created magic with the MCU and with Peacemaker already. Therefore, all fans can do is wait and see what James Gunn will do once the DCU begins in 2025.
